As 2017 comes to a close, I cannot help but look back and realize how fast time flies. This was a banner year at The Grateful Golfer. I exceeded all expectations, met all milestones and still have the desire to keep writing about golf. Mostly, it I want to thank each and every person who stopped by to say hello. I am continually impressed by the positive feedback and suggestions, for this I am grateful.

With one day left before 2018, I am filled with hope for my upcoming golf season. This year I hope to turn things up a notch and see if I can finally reach my goal of being a scratch golfer. This will require some changes, but positive change is always good. More to follow on that in the upcoming articles.

In the next week or so, I will look back at 2017 and once again realize that my life is truly blessed. I have my health, fantastic family, great friends, and activities that make me happy. As the magic hour approaches today, I will take the time to be grateful for all the blessings in my life.

As your midnight approaches, I hope you are surrounded by friends and family. As we ring in the new year, it begins a new chapter in our lives. The choice is ours and for me, I plan to write some exciting events on and off the golf course. Until then, keep safe and have fun.
